The prince Gothama Siddhartha Shakiamuni, the historical Buddha, was always an individual with a keen power of deep observation. He always felt there's something incomplete, hidden, behind the charade or facade his father tried to surround him with, to hide the fact that suffering even exists in the world.
It made him want to see through the facade and thus he went out of the palaces to see the world outside. In his four journeys, which his father tried to further stage for the sake of the facade, he did get to see the following: an old man, a sick man, a dead body and an ascetic. These sights triggered his deep compassion and curiosity: he understood that there is suffering in the world, and that this suffering is part of every life, even his, he wife's, children, friends, everyone.
He then decided he have to seek a remedy to the suffering for all, no matter what is the cost - this is how compassionate he was even before his enlightenment.
